“Solved!”
Thanks for your help, @Andrew.
The problem turned out to be my diagnostics skills. Commands are also present, i just have to preface them with lsp even though i thought i had removed that format in the .lua lsp config file. oh well. Back to doublechecking how to make the format better!
I will say, though, the lsp on the typst website is a lot better than my local one. but im assuming tinymist is working as intended now.
